' What
could Paul mean, except that we are to become dead to sin?
"Now, notice verse 6, please, 'Knowing this, that our old man is
crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin.' Crucifixion means death. The 'old
man,' which means the old fleshly, sinful life, is to be killed, so
that he may no longer dominate the life. Praise God!"
When Robert said these last words all in the house looked at him.
They were not used to such expressions. Robert was a little surprised
himself, as that was the first time he had ever said them. But his
heart was full of heavenly joy. He knew God saved him.
"Now, shall we notice verse 16 and down to the twentieth? We
necessarily must serve God or Satan; we yield our members, such as the
tongue or the hands, to do evil, or to do good. And to whom we yield
these members, his servants we are. This is fundamental. A person who
does right serves God; one who sins serves the devil. Nothing can be
plainer than this.
